Jane Austen is without question, one of England's most enduring and skilled novelists, whose stories, interpret and critique on the British upper and middle class at the end of the 18th century.

Whether it is the different and much put-upon Fanny Price struggling to cope with her emotions in "Mansfield Park"; the quite strength of Anne Elliot in "Persuasion" succeeding in a world designed to subjugate her very existence; or Blending the exuberance of youth with the sharp wit and devastating social criticism in "Love and Friendship", Austen's plots highlight women's traditional dependence on marriage to secure social standing and economic security.

With her wit, social precision, and unerring ability to create some of literature's most charismatic and believable heroines, she mesmerises her readers as much today as when her novels were first published.
